Benedict caught sight of Eloise mid-argument with a particularly pompous young gentleman and could not help the slow arch of his brow.
          
          He approached with deliberate calm, hands clasped behind his back.
          
          “Am I interrupting a philosophical debate, or has someone finally dared to challenge my sister’s superior intellect?”
          
          His eyes flicked briefly to the suitor — assessing, unimpressed — before settling warmly on Eloise.
          
          “Should I rescue him… or would you prefer to finish the demolition yourself?”
          

He found her outside in the rain. Of course he did.
          
          Anthony removed his coat without hesitation and draped it over her shoulders.
          
          “You are determined to test my patience,” he muttered, though there was no real bite to it.
          
          He stood beside her rather than dragging her back inside “I do not expect you to be silent or small,” he said after a moment “but I do expect you to be safe.”
          
          His gaze shifted to her.
          
          “Are you?”
